Yeah I remember him as a kid he was quirky and different. Talented man .
Great musician (classically trained I believe) turned me onto swing not just a tune but a complete genre (sic) not seen enough of him in recent years but a fixture in my cars cd player. Deserved wider exposure and more acknowledgement will be sadly missed. R.I.P. Peter Skellern
